Young Investigator Award for David

David Jacques, who has spent a year with us (after a PhD with the Trewella/Guss labs) working wonders with crystals and small angle X-ray scattering, won a Young Investigator Award at the 2012 Lorne Protein Conference. In his award talk, David presented crystallographic data from that was from a collaborative project with Lorna and Nina on GATA-DNA binding. David is soon heading off to Cambridge, on a CJ Martin Fellowship, to work with Leo James at the LMB, so he has had a pretty good few months!

Poster Victories at Lorne Proteins

Soumya Joseph, Kaayva Kumar and Vanessa Morris all won poster prizes at the Lorne Conference for Protein structure and Function. We're very proud of them all. A bonus this year is that winning the prizes makes them eligible for winning a sponsored trip to the Protein Society Conference in San Diego this August. Fingers crossed for more victory......

Fionna publishes a nice paper!

Fionna has just had her first paper published from her postdoc with Fred Allain at the ETH in Zurich - in NSMB, no less! While simultaneously juggling a small child (not literally) she has published her structure of the zinc knuckle domains of Lin28 (an inhibitor of miRNA biosytnthesis) bound to a pre-miRNA from Let7 [check it out]. Great stuff Fionna!

Have been off X for months but had to log in to see response to AF3. I am much less smart than the authors - but am I (and Erin) the only ones to think that the helical afros that it makes out of IDRs is totally weird? Am I missing something?

Amazing story from the lab down the corridor - @RezwanSidd working with Sandro Ataide and Ruth Hall in @SydneySOLES at @Sydney_Science - now they will be thrown into the gladiators' pit I suspect with the other protagonists that prowl this landscape! 🙂 Great piece of work!
